What does CMMC Level 2 certification mean for protecting PCB design data?
CMMC Level 2 certification verifies that an organization meets 110 NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 security requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). AdvancedPCB’s independent assessment covers safeguards for sensitive customer information, including PCB drawings, specifications and design files, within its assessed environment.
What does ISO 9001:2015 certification mean for PCB manufacturing?
ISO 9001:2015 certification verifies that a manufacturer’s quality management system meets internationally recognized requirements. It emphasizes documented processes, customer requirements, corrective action and continual improvement. For PCB customers, these practices support consistent manufacturing and quality control from order review through delivery.
What does UL recognition mean for a printed circuit board?
UL recognition indicates that a PCB construction has been evaluated against applicable component safety requirements. Recognition applies to defined materials, constructions and manufacturing conditions. Customers should confirm that their board requirements fall within the manufacturer’s UL-recognized scope when specifying PCBs for products requiring UL certification.
ISO 9001-2015 belongs to a family of standards for quality management systems maintained by the International Organization for Standardization. It is administered by accreditation and certification bodies worldwide. The scope of the standard includes requirements for the quality management system to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer requirements and enhances customer satisfaction through the application of the quality management system. The standard prescribes formal documentation of procedures, performance measurement and continual improvement to assure conformity to customer and regulatory requirements through the use of corrective action, inspection and testing, monitoring and review.
Why is AS9100D certification important for aerospace and defense PCBs?
AS9100D is a quality management standard developed for aviation, space and defense suppliers. It builds on ISO 9001 with additional industry requirements. Choosing an AS9100D-certified PCB manufacturing facility helps customers meet supplier qualification expectations for programs with demanding quality requirements.
